In Season 3 of LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION, now streaming in its entirety (as are previous seasons) on Prime Video, Beth Riesgraf’s master thief Parker undergoes something of an existential crisis. As she becomes closer to her teammates, who come together to con bad guys and help honest people who’ve been harmed, is Parker internalizing a more empathetic moral code? Or is she deep down as feral as she was when we met her back in the original LEVERAGE? Aleyse Shannon’s character, tech whiz Breanna Casey, is less conflicted about herself, but she’s still going through changes in Season 3. Both performers […]Read On »

We begin with narration by former San Bernardino, California, police detective Joseph Kirby (Peter Zizzo), who speaks […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Alice Kremelberg, Juani Feliz, Jennifer LaFleur, Henny Russell, Owen Campbell, Michael Chernus Writers: Patch Darragh & Erin Gann Director: Ross Partridge Distributor: Brainstorm Media Release Date: August 8, 2025 (theatrical, VOD) BIRTHRITE has a satisfyingly creepy atmosphere, but the way it doles out its mythology is problematic, as is its character logic. The film begins with a small fire in the woods at night. A cloaked figure wearing horns hands something to another hooded person, who runs away with the gift. Then it’s daylight. Wren Collins (Alice Kremelberg) is astonished to learn that not only did […]Read On »

As it is, Cregger presents us with a major what’s-going-on-here mystery at the outset, which is revealed in segments, each devoted to a different character’s point of view. An […]Read On »
